Dead Memory??

I have a stick of 512mb PC3200 Geil which was pretty good memory. Everything was working fine, and i havent really o/ced on my new comp yet so i couldnt have messed it up. Now my comp doesnt turn on. My friend let me borrow some 256mb of Pc3200 Geil(same stuff just 256), and it worked fine. I dont see what i could have done to it? I was wondering if anyone could help me on that. My board is a MSI KT4 Ultra which does support 400 mhz DDR ram. And anyways it worked fine, then just died soo its messed.

Try running everything at stock speed. If it boots, run memtest to see if it's okay. If it doesn't boot at all, it's probably dead.

Did you happen to shock that memory by mistake? Static charge.

I dont think i shocked it, and ive tried to reset the c-mos many times, and still no boot, i never removed it from the slot so how could i shock it?

Youd don't need to remove a component from it's spot in order for static discharge to ruin it.

All it takes is a simple little jolt.

Have you tried taking your RAM out and testing it in your friend's computer?

Ok, i just took out my memory, put in my friends memory, didnt boot, put back in my memory, and it booted and worked fine. LoL i dont get it?? But i am not complaining at all. I have no idea how but its fixed, thank you for your help.
